I woke up this morning to find the freezer door wide open. We’re still not sure who the culprit is, but we suspect it’s someone under 4 feet tall. Now I have a whole lot of thawed meat that I’m trying to figure out what to do with. So far I have found something to do with everything but the 7 pieces of steak. They’re varying cuts of Omaha Steaks. I really don’t want to try to eat that much grilled steak. We’re just a family of four, the kids not even school aged yet. So what can we do with them? ---

Well, you can cook them, then freeze again. I’d have steak for dinner tonight, though. 😉 Make some kebabs, then you’ll have them later for maybe a salad topped with grilled sliced steak. Freeze some for steak omelettes (that’s what I do anyway with leftover steak.) You can make what I call “heavenly hash,” - cube some cooked steak, saute with onions, then add diced potatoes and beef stock. Simmer until potatoes are done (about 15 minutes) - then thicken with a corn starch slurry. ---

Go to/from St. Ives, maybe. ---

Invite a few friends over and grill some steaks. ---

Cook the steaks and then refreeze. Me - I’d also consider making kebabs, stew, stir fries… all of which can be frozen and reheated with no problem. Granted, Omaha steaks are a bit luxurious for such things, but they’ll make all those dishes taste fantastic. ---

Fajitas. Or stir fries. And consider getting a lock for the freezer. ---

I make a version of chili using diced steak - cook for 1.5-2 hours, it’s delicious, trust me. You’ll never use minced beef again. Also, make a really good ragu to have with pasta. Again, cook for 2+ hours til the steak is falling apart ---

Stew.
